Concord's original post highlights a fascinating optical phenomenon where watch hands appear profoundly black under specific lighting conditions. This visual transformation, often a subtle detail, speaks to the meticulous finishing and design choices that captivate collectors. His observations invite readers to appreciate the nuanced aesthetics that define high horology.

In certain light the hands transform to deeeeeep black, notice the minute and second orientation? I am totally bewitched by this watch, I know all of us are by passion of ours. Have a fantastic weekend.

it would be a perfect collection of 1. I contacted the company. No way I'll get one. Asked about future pieces, and I have a suspicion that won't work either. Oh well.
